The result of yesterday’s election was
as disappointing commercially as It was
decisive politically.
There was no public response In any
of the market.
It was tnllclpated that there would be
some demand for stocks and as soon as
It was realized that the demand was
not there traders weer quick to take
the telling side and In a little while sell
ing orders appeared from commission
bouses.
The decline that resulted, while not
very serious in extent nevertheless was
impressive, Indicating a public doubt as
to the immediate future of business.

There was a slump in hog prices on
the local live stock exchange at the open
ing today, after an advance of more than
60 cents ou tin? Wednesday market i tie
close of the Wednesday market was some
what higher than the opening with a
good, strong demand and but few hogs
left to supply that demand.
Prices were generally 25 to 50 cents
lower, with the exception of perhaps
one or two small lots of good heavy
hogs, owing to the lack of good heavy
hogs on the market.
Good heavy bogs generally brought
around $14.50, while lights, mixed and
mediums generally brought $14.25<g1430.
Pigs were only down 25 cents with a
top of $14.25, while roughs were fully M
cents off at a top of $13.25.
the bulk of the sules for the day ran
close to $14.25. .
The cause cf the slump was given by
leading commission men as due to the
lower tendency of Chicago and other of
the outside marketß and also to the over
supply of hogs here today.
Tradiug was. however, of a general
nature, but there was not the usual num
ber of orders. Both the representatives
of the local packers and the Eastern
shippers received orders to put their
hogs lower.
Receipts at an early hour we;e close
around 9.000 and It was thought that
there would be at least 10,000 on the
market before the day was over.
These were rather large receipts for
this time of the week and were prob
ably due to the hold-up caused by the
inability of local shippers to get their
hogs to the market on account of no
cars for freight being set ou election
day.
The clearance for the Wednesday mar
ket was good, with nine stale hogs ’eft
on the market for today’s trade.
Trading on the cattle market was fair,
with the local packers buying only for
their immediate needs.
Prices, however, were easy to 25 cents
lower generally and 50 cents lower on
some of the extreme poor stuff of all
grades.
The decline in the market is said to
be due to the lower tendency of Chicago
and some of the important Western mar
kets, which in turn is due to the large
receipts coming from Western ranches.
The cold spell in the Northwest and West
probably had some affect on the crowding
of the market.
Receipts were rather large at approxi
mately 1,000 cattle in the early foreuoon.
and it was thought that there would
probably be 300 more cattle come into
the market before the close of the day’s
trading.
There was a good strong tone to the
trading on the calf market, with a very
unusual trend of prices. Veals were 60
cents to $1 lower, good heavy calves were
the reverse at 50 cents to $1 higher, and
other grades held about steady.
The reason given for the advance of
the prices In good heavy calves was that
there was an exceptionally good demand
for that grade of cattle In the East. The
slump In the price of veal# Is probably
due more than anything else to the sen
timent of the local butchers.
Receipts for the day were fairly heavy
at 600.
There was a decidedly lowrer tendency
In the prices on the sheep market today,
prices sustaining losses ranging from 60c
to $1.50.
Sheep were fully $1 lower with a top
of $5 and the bulk of the prime sheep at
$4%5. Bucks and common sheep were
fully 50c lower.
Lambs were fully $l@U5O lower with
a top of $11.50. and the bulk of the good
springers at $6&11.25. Yearlings were
fully 50c lower. *
Con.mlss'on men stated that the cause
for the decline was principally the flood
ed condition of the principal sheep mar
kets of the country, and also a slack
order season in the East.
Receipts were approximately 1,000.

GRAIN PRICES
CLOSE LOWER
Small Buying and Selling
Principal Factors.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4—Grain prices
dropped today on the Chicago Board ot
Trade, due to selling of small lots by
commission houses and lack off buying
power.
Traders generally were bearish.
Provisions were lower.
December wheat was off %c at the
opening at $2.06% and lost 3%c In late
trading. March wheat, off l%c at the
opening, dropped l%e additional.
December corn, after opening un
changed at S2%c, galued %<. May corn
opeued at 88c, off %e, but advanced %c
before the close.
December oats opened off %c at 54%e
and later lost %c. May oats was down
%c at the opening, 59%, and declined
Vc additional before the (.lose.
(By Thomson & McKinnon.)
—Nov. 8—
Wheat—The statistical position of
wheat Is strong to the extent that the
visible supply Is below an average and
two-tblrds of It Is at the seaboard In
position for shipment abroad, but it is
overcome by an almost, total absence of
general Interest, or so-called buying
power. This condition Is displayed In
the December delivery. In the export
business, in the milling demand and In
flour trade Determination to withhold
wheat as expressed by the Southwestern
farmer, Is not yet reflected In the re
ceipts at primary markets In that section.
Further than that, Canadian wheat Is
offered Just as freely as heretofore, and,
at relatively lower prices.
Corn—Private estimates of the corn
crop have revived the feeling that the
enormous surplus in feeding grain must
eventuate in a lower range of value*.
There is considerable difference In the
private estimates as to the total yield,
but both of them aro unanimous in say
ing that the quality Is the best on rec
ord. Cash position is strengthening to
some extent, premiums being advanced
from %4((tc today. No. 2 yellow selling
as high ns B%e over Deeember. New
corn Is being very sparingly sold by the
producing section. The better tone in
the cash market, the falling off receipts
and refusal of the country man to mar
ket the new cron mat steady values
temporarily, but It is Very difficult to
discover anything In the Immediate situ
ation or possibilities to warrant the Idea
of permanently higher price.
Oat*—Accumulations of oats at termi
nal markets continue to increase, while
at the same time there 13 little If any
Improvement In the demand from the
consumer. Under this condition, mar
ket naturally drags, although it can be
said that the selling Is not heavy.
Provision*—Strength In hog market
w-as reflected In provision* early, but
thereafter prices were Influenced by
f rains and the lack of any new demand,
ash trade Is not brisk.

On Commission Row
There was but little change in the tone
of the early trading on the local whole
sale produce market today. Prices held
about steady and trading was ns active
as It was on the Wednesday morket. The
prediction that the cold weather would
give the market a good tone that would
hold permanent seems to have been cor
rect.
There 1* still a fine supply of apples
on the market, practically all the com
mission houses having a good supply on
hand.
There were no further advances in the
price of potatoes, and commission men
refrained from stating what the trend in
the prices <jf that commodity would be.
However, the good demand for that
commodity and a slight cut in the an
ticipated supply by inroads of the dry
rot would lead one to believe reasonably
that there certainly will be no further
decline, but the demand is not grea.
enough, it seems, to warrant much of an
Increase.

FRANK VANDERLIP
ON THE ELECTION
Says Business Generally
Should Be Satisfied.
NEW YORK. Nov. 4.—Frank A. Van-,
derlip today commented on the effect of
Senator Harding's election on business
in the following statement:
“The business community ought to feel
deeply satisfied over the result of the
election. For the time being business I*
on a down grade and it seems to me
likely so to continue for the present. The
great tide of general price levels will
be affected much less by the election
than it will be by the total volume of
currency and bank credits.
The general price level will be gov
erned by whether we continue to inflate
or seriously undertake deflation.
“There will be great need that the new
administration be governed by sound
economic principles and that its course
be shJped with a broad understanding
of world affairs, rather than In a nar
ow spirit which looks only on what can
ue conceived to be our domestic con
cerns.
“In commerce we already have a vast
number of entangling alliances. The
whole world is an intricate network of
inter-relationships. It is a Impossible
for us to determine the conduct of our
affairs eo as to avert the effect of those
relationships. Rather than avoid, we
need a wide understanding of them.”
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Judge Elbert H.
Gary of the United States Steel Corpora
tion predicted eight years of Repu
liean ruSe with a record of achievements '
that will have a decided influence on
the welfare of the people, provided a
strong cabinet was selected and proper
appointments made.
